Abstract (en)

Methods and systems for improving azimuth distribution in a seismic acquisition system are described. A survey acquisition system includes a plurality of streamers towed by a plurality of streamer vessels, including a first streamer vessel (202) and a second streamer vessel (204) and a plurality of sources towed by a plurality of source vessels (206, 208, 210). The plurality of streamer vessels and plurality of source vessels are configured relative to one another such that the plurality of source vessels (206, 208, 210) are positioned at one or more predetermined inline distances behind a portion of the first streamer vessel and are also positioned at one or more predetermined inline distances in front of a portion of the second streamer vessel. The plurality of streamer vessels and plurality of source vessels are also spaced apart from one another in a cross-line direction.
